I've never been a fan of yogurt until I discovered Greek yogurt. I love the slightly sour taste it has topped with some fresh berries, sweet honey and some nuts for texture. I swear I feel like I am eating something bad! It's like having dessert for breakfast yet, so healthy with the added benefits of protein and active probiotic cultures which are great for your intestines. I am starting to see Greek yogurt everywhere now, in Trader Joe's and even my local supermarket carries Chobani which is what I used here.

I am a fan too - starting straining my own yogurt to make it, MUCH cheaper. There's a link on the left sidebar on my front page if you're interested but nothing much to it really. The reduction also increases the protein substantially so a good bang for the buck and you can use regular or low fat yogurt - just get a good one with the active cultures in it.

What's also really great is adding 1 tsp. jam to the yogurt and 1/2 cup of Kashi Go Lean on top - adds 2 points but it's a great alternative to granola (it feels like the same to me!) and packs a good fiber/protein punch.

I have to say this....I found this website right after Thanksgiving so I decided I would try dieting ONE MORE TIME....the recipes are so delicious and "down to earth" that I have been able to stay on my diet...after only 1 month I have lost 12 lbs. Thank you so so so much for sharing these recipes!!! Eating has always been a "hobby" of mine and I didn't have to give up my hobby just to be on a diet!!!

I am also a recent convert to Greek yogurt. This stuff tastes amazing! I will never eat other yogurt again if I am faced with the choice between the two. I love eating this stuff with honey, blueberries, and granola. I am a runner who just over the past 6 monthes became quite serious and I love eating this pre and or post run (easily digested) .
